No this isn't the Soma riddled, promiscuous, class based society of Aldous Huxley's novel, but a new expansion for Civilisation V, that will take humanity off of this Earth and into new frontiers of exploration.
Culture and ideology go hand in hand with technological achievements in this expansion, bringing about such features as international trade, a better integration of diplomacy and cu... more.

League of Legends is the biggest game in the world, if you discount everything on mobile and tablets. That's thanks to its worldwide availability, popularity in Eastern markets as well as Western ones and the fact that it's free. Unfortunately, our cousins down under have been getting a raw deal, with no dedicated server setup for them to experience nice, low pings during gameplay; well no more.

Pikmin 3 was shown off today by Nintendo in a broadcasted live play session by Shigeru Miyamoto and once again the quality of the video stream was pretty poor. However, that doesn't mean we couldn't snap a few screenshots to give you an idea of what the game is about.
At the time of writing you can still catch some of the live stream over at allgamesbeta.

Executive vice president at EA Games Label, Patrick, Patrick Söderlund has been speaking about announced games the publisher has for the next generation of consoles, including Mirror's Edge 2. During the interview, he explained that really, there was just no way they could build this sort of game on the current generation of consoles.
When discussing the somewhat lacklustre commercial and cri... more.

While the monsters steal the show in the new trailer for Tencent's CryEngine 3.0 using Monster Hunter Online, it's the environments that intrigued me the most. Having played my way through several hundred hours of the previous Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii, the scale and diversity of environments on show here, is quite impressive.
Simply having the space to move around (along with the detail) a... more.

Yup, Borderlands 2 DLC is still being rolled out folks, which means its back to Pandora for another round of slaying and shooting, though this time there's much more role playing involved. Why? Because this is Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, a pseudo tabletop RPG played by the characters from the first Borderlands, which you're living out.
The new trailer that just hit shows the intro to th... more.

Jimmy Fallon's Game Week continued last night with new footage of Watchdogs, the open world hacking title from Ubisoft. While some of it we've seen before - the mannequin girlfriend is old hat at this point - the semi-staged chase scene that follows, gives us a nice idea of some of the extra-curricular activities you can get up to in the game.
Let's not bother with me spoiling it all. If you h... more.

Sonic fans of yesteryear might wax lyrical about the days of sprinting from left to right, jumping occasionally and watching in awe as pretty stuff whizzed by the screen at a speed only blast processing could achieve. Unfortunately for that select group, it's been a long, long time since Sonic was restricted to two dimensions and in some people's eyes, that's the equivalent of no Sonic games at al... more.

While Microsoft and gamers might be talking all about the Xbox One at the moment (albeit with slightly different opinions of it) it's easy to forget that the Xbox 360 is the console of today. Some developers have remembered though and that's why the upcoming The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, the third person shooter of the XCOM world, is getting some exclusive DLC.
It'll be the first lot too, so d... more.
